Abstract

The paper considers peculiarities of speech impact of educational and scientific texts of engineering and humanities majors as a factor that ensures implementation of the pedagogical principle of textbook content accessibility for students. The goal of the study is to examine the concept of competence in terms of the theory of psychological attitude, to identify its components and to find out, based on the analysis of educational texts, what elements of the language form and the content of these texts contribute to developing the competence. The research material is university textbooks on engineering and humanities subjects. Methods of the study are discourse analysis, methods of communicative and pragmatic linguistics, functional and semantic analysis.

The analysis has shown that the language resources, which describe the intellectual activity aimed at acquiring new knowledge, especially joint intellectual activity of the author and the reader, are used much more often in the textbooks on engineering subjects distinguished by their abstract content. This makes the content of the educational text closer to the reader and involves the reader in the process of active thinking. Besides, the textbooks which are recognized by students and teachers as effective, i.e. explaining complex engineering topics in a clear and simple manner, use various speech strategies which motivate the reader to study for a profession and create an optimistic environment.
